Loft Conversions in Manchester

Can I convert my loft myself?

You can do so yourself, but we always strongly advise against it. A loft conversion project is not easy, and is an incredibly delicate, time consuming and at times dangerous job which can become much costlier than for you to just hire someone to do it like us, as we are the best loft conversions Manchester company in the area! As a loft conversion Manchester company, we make sure to provide the best service possible! Many possible issues such as making a mistake or overlooking any planning permissions you were unaware about can also be costly. I would always recommend using a Manchester loft conversion company. If you decide to do a DIY job instead however, then we will give you a few steps that you should ensure to follow during the project:

Be sure that your property can be able to take the additional weight that will come with the conversion. Normally we think it is wise to hire the services of an experiences surveyor to examine the foundations of the house so that they can identify it is fundamentally strong enough for the extra weight that will be provided.

Then you will need to begin underpinning. This alone could set you back in your budget before you have begun. When we start a project on a property, we always make sure to use the most weight-effective materials for your loft to ensure that this will not become a problem for you.

The next thing to be examined is the head height of your roof. If you decide on converting the loft before considering the need for permissions, then you may have to instead decide to fit your design ideas within the roofing space available. Since it may be difficult to execute the ideas you have created or do not come from a design background, you may instead decide to use an interior designer or architect to help with this part of the process.

Depending on your home you may have to have your loft conversion approved for building regulations, despite if you are not required to have planning permissions for the roof. You may need full design plan to have it approved as well.

The structure of the roof may have to be refurbished or adjusted to support conversion requirements. This can be done in a variety of ways altogether and usually it comes down to the roof size and the room the room that you want, so you may have to find out a more efficient way to support the roofing, which could also open the space. This is also a service that we include ourselves when we review your roof, mainly because we have years of experience providing this service to customers. Therefore, we would know if new floor joints are necessary for you.

Fire Safety, Insulation, Loft Stairs, Windows and Storage are all things that need to be kept in mind before converting your loft also. These are things that you must be aware of when you are designing your new room. As you will need to ensure you do not use materials that are flammable, you need consider safe materials that will not be a possible fire hazard.

You must also remember the stairwell or ladder that will be installed could be narrow, and designed in a way that will take as little space from the room as able. You should reinsulate the loft as well since the current insulation will need to be removed when the loft is being converted. You can also decide to install windows into the loft to bring in light, but this may affect potential space in the room too. You could also create extra space for storage in another room on your property, but you could instead create storage space within your new loft using alcoves.

Remember, when you have a consultation with us here at Manchester Loft Converters, we will take care of all of this for you, meaning you will not have to spend time and resources to do it alone.

Planning permissions for loft conversion?

Planning permission is not usually necessary for most jobs we receive. But with some it can be necessary. This is needed mainly if you plan to exceed your roofing space within the property past a specified limit. This is something that we will discuss with you in order to learn your aims, and whether or not we will need to apply for any planning permission before we undergo the project. That is part of what makes us the best loft conversions Manchester company. We are a loft conversion Manchester company, and we are as professional and reliable as possible.

One thing that we also ensure to do on all projects is following strict rules and regulations with architects, while also ensuring that the project is completed with any building regulations.

Types of loft conversion in Manchester

Mansard Loft Conversion

The average loft conversion Manchester customers request are mansard loft conversions, due to the average home build and design. With the surge of detached and demi-detached houses, the average loft in Manchester has the special requirements necessary for a mansard conversion, allowing the extension for more space than a dormer or hip to gable loft conversion. Other customers often decide to apply for a mansard conversion even if they have terraced homes, because within the Manchester area the average terraced home has enough space to do so. We have completed many of the loft conversions Manchester homes currently have, making us dependable and experienced. No other loft conversion Manchester based company is close to our level in skill and experience.

Mansard loft conversions are suited to those who look to not only maximise the space within their loft, but also extend outwards to create as much living space as possible with their investment.

Cost and timescale of Mansard loft conversion

The average cost of a mansard conversion in Manchester is between £25,000 - £50,000.

Likewise, the average length of a mansard loft conversion can take from 3-6 months overall. The larger the mansard conversion and specific work that needs to be done, the longer the conversion would take.

Dormer Loft Conversion

​A dormer, or hip to gable and dormer combination is an increasingly common loft conversion Manchester homes have begun to construct. The blend of a hip to gable and dormer conversion ensures you maximise all potential space before extending your loft outwards. An ordinary dormer loft conversion is still recommended however, for multiple reasons such as time and cost savings that the combination would not provide. A dormer loft conversion is also a fantastic way to extend the space within your loft conversion without having to invest the same time and money that would be required if you were to get a mansard conversion. A dormer and hip to gable loft conversion can be considered a smaller mansard loft conversion, since although you do not get the same space and size advantages, you would not have to expect the same investment.

Important Dormer Conversion Information

There are two specific questions most of our customers and those who are considering a dormer loft conversion ask; “how much does a dormer loft conversion cost” and “how long does it take to complete?”. Quite simply, with most construction projects and specifically loft conversion projects, it is dependent on several factors. However, using both experiences and the market average, there are a few guidelines we can provide for you as a customer. We have completed many of the loft conversions Manchester homes currently have, making us dependable and experienced.

How much does a dormer loft conversion cost? The average dormer loft conversion can cost anywhere from £20,000 - £45,000 dependent on several factors. The first main factor is if you decide to maximise the space within the loft using a hip to gable conversion beforehand. This would naturally add labour and raw material costs due to structural changes. The other main factors include both the raw materials of the conversion itself and the labour costs.

How long does a dormer loft conversion take to complete? A dormer conversion would usually take 2-5 months, depending on what is required. A dormer conversion on average takes 4 months to complete since certain jobs can be quite complex, especially if a hip to gable conversion is also completed simultaneously.

If you are looking for a dormer conversion, or a simultaneous hip to gable and dormer conversion, then give us a call today!

Hip to Gable Loft Conversion

​The third possible loft conversion you can convert your loft with is a hip to gable, which is designed to maximise the amount of living space which already exists. Hip to gable loft conversions work best for those whose roofs are slanted inwards, since it shortens the amount of maximum space within the loft. The hip to gable conversion straightens the slant, both expanding the space within the loft itself and allowing your loft more space. While it does not provide as much in terms of space expansion that a dormer or mansard conversion would, it does require the least investment in terms of financial cost and time.

A hip to gable loft conversion is very common in Manchester because of the design of most residential properties, allowing small cost investment while also allowing you to rise your property value significantly with additional living space. We believe we offer the best service for a loft conversion Manchester offer due to our keen attention to detail and our ability to plan and process any possible errors or issues that could arise through the conversion process. We are experienced and knowledgeable with hip to gable and any other type of conversions because of our combined years of experience.

Manchester Loft Converters are the Manchester loft conversion company within the area. If you are looking for a loft conversion in Manchester, then call us today!

Important Hip to Gable information

To educate customers, it is important to note that a hip to gable loft conversion is not for everyone. In terms of prices, the average hip to gable costs anywhere from £10,000 - £25,000, and on average takes 12-18 weeks, making it the fastest and cheapest loft conversion. Even though it is a cheap loft conversion, that does not necessarily mean it is the best for you. The lack of additional space the dormer or mansard conversions provide means that unless you have a specific design in mind for once the conversion is complete, you need to plan for your available space before the project is complete. There is always the possibility of realising you lack the space you need within your loft room. If you have any questions, I would recommend getting in touch with us as the premier Manchester Loft Conversion company. We have completed many of the loft conversions Manchester homes currently have, making us dependable and experienced.

One of the most popular services in the Manchester, United Kingdom area is providing loft boarding’s. This is for customers who either want to use their loft as a storage space to avoid cluttering within the house, or because they are unsure as to what they want to do with their loft and do not wish to convert it until then. That is why we offer boarding as a separate service from a conversion, and we provide this throughout the year. Boarding is a very important aspect of your loft, as the structural integrity and most of the insulation is controlled by the boards. If the boarding is done incorrectly or without the proper measurements, then you run the risk of the loft caving or the damage of your personal possessions.

Every loft boarding should be completed with the accuracy and care of a conversion. Before having your loft boarded, you must first be mindful of what you would like to use it for. If you want to use it for storage purposes then we would recommend having your loft boarded before you place anything inside. The same could be said if you decide to use the loft for any purposes that would require you to be inside.

You should also note that with each board that you use, we have a responsibility to ensure the materials you are using are as environmentally conscious as possible. There are many sturdy and strong lumber materials that you could use that would still guarantee structural integrity while providing minimal (if not beneficial) impacts to the land and Earth itself. With a focus on using natural materials daily, it is important that as a company we should be mindful of the impact that we create.
